Single-Case Time Series With Bayesian Analysis: A Practitioner's Guide

This article illustrates a simplified time series analysis for use by the counseling researcher—practitioner in single-case baseline plus intervention studies with a Bayesian probability analysis to integrate findings from replications. The C statistic is recommended as a primary analysis tool with particular relevance in the context of actual practice.
